What is a kitchen extension?
A kitchen extension is an extension designed around a new kitchen, usually an open-plan kitchen, dining and family space at the back of the house. We build the extension and fit the kitchen as one project, so plumbing, electrics and lighting are planned around the layout from the start.
How much does a kitchen extension cost in Mirfield?
In Mirfield, a kitchen extension typically costs £2,100–£3,150 per m² including a mid-range kitchen, including VAT at 20% (standard rate). For a typical 22 m² project that is roughly £46,000–£69,500. Prices across Yorkshire and the Humber are typically 7% below the UK average for this kind of work, which is reflected in the range for Mirfield. Design, structural calculations and council fees are extra.
| Size or type | Guide range |
|---|---|
| Smaller project (15 m²) | £31,500–£47,000 |

The biggest cost drivers are:
- Kitchen units, worktops and appliances
- Extension size and roof design
- Underfloor heating and flooring
- Island with sink or hob, which needs services in the floor
A guide range is only a starting point: the guide price tool gives an instant figure for your size, and a free survey turns it into a fixed quote.
Do you need planning permission for a kitchen extension in Mirfield?
Here is how the rules work for a kitchen extension in England. In England a single-storey rear extension is often permitted development: broadly up to 3 metres deep on a semi-detached or terraced house and 4 metres on a detached house, no higher than 4 metres, with eaves no higher than 3 metres within 2 metres of a boundary, and covering no more than half the garden. The larger home extension scheme allows up to 6 or 8 metres if you notify the council first and neighbours have a chance to comment. In conservation areas, National Parks and National Landscapes the larger home extension route, side extensions and cladding are not permitted development. Flats and houses whose rights have been removed need a planning application, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
Building regulations approval comes from the council’s building control service or a registered building control approver. The work is inspected at key stages, such as foundations, drainage and insulation, and a completion certificate is issued at the end.
At the survey we check your house’s planning history and any restrictions, and tell you which route applies.
What we handle
From survey to sign-off, the job normally involves:
- Extension structure, roof and glazing
- Building control sign-off
- Extraction ducted to outside
- Kitchen layout planned alongside the extension design
- Drainage and water supply positioned for the sink and appliances
- Electrics, lighting plan and sockets
How long does it take?
The build itself usually takes 11 to 16 weeks on site, including kitchen fitting. Allow time beforehand for drawings and approvals, usually 6 to 12 weeks.

Questions about kitchen extensions in Mirfield
Do I need extraction to outside?
Building regulations require kitchen extract ventilation. Ducting to an outside wall is the most effective option and is planned during the build.
Should the kitchen be designed before the extension?
Yes. Knowing where the sink, hob and island will go lets us place drains, ducting, sockets and windows correctly during the build.
Do you build kitchen extensions in Mirfield?
Yes. We build kitchen extensions across Mirfield, including postcodes WF14. Every project starts with a free home visit.
